Who has broken my calabash
Who has smashed my waterpot
Who has laid me bare and fenceless
I am already sold for doom
...
For I have caged it
Fiercely and tightly
Never to wander astray
For I have caged it
...
I remembered the night we met
At the lake of many colours
Where the moon shined incrystalline shapes
Filling the atmosphere with the aroma of lavender
...
So I was told
How the lion fell in love with the lamb
How the hunter fell in love with the hunted
Andthe prey fell in love with the predator
...
Take me to Jerusalem
The land of peace
And ubiquitous beauty
That I may rest from the worldly peril of life
...
Pandoras box
Filled with unimaginable doom
And unprecedented gloom
Pandoras box
...
I miss him
Yes I miss him
I miss his tenderness and fondness
I miss his gentle composure andhis masculine aura
...
I found my passion
I found my calling
I found my creativity
I found my skills
...
I was given no chance of survival
I was gifted with a gift of hopelessness
And I was left reluctantly to wither away
At the hands of a dreaded illness
...
Have been bent and broken
But I hope into a better shape
Have been beaten and bullied
But I hope into a better strength
...
